Climate change collaboration shows path to innovative methane emissions policy

The research collaboration proposes a new approach to climate change policy that would address the effects of these different emissions. This would be particularly relevant to one of New Zealand’s biggest industries: agriculture.

Stories to prepare us for weather extremes

How could academics improve their physical understanding of climate change to help us better imagine what weather the future might hold? By way of narratives and storytelling, some researchers suggest.

Time and Sustainability: What are we missing and what do we need to do?

How do we time our actions in a way that minimize the risks and maximize the opportunities associated with climate change and environmental issues? What role can the Sustainable Development Goals play in this?

Sensible heat has significantly affected the global hydrological cycle over the historical period

Multiple lines of evidence indicate widespread changes to the global water cycle since 1950. Here we show, using a range of climate modelling results, that changes in sensible heat are the dominant contributor to the present global-mean precipitation change since preindustrial time.

Global collective effort

We have a big challenge ahead of us if we are to hold global warming to under 2°C. This is largely because we have already used up most of our collective 'carbon budget'.
